The Terminus Mini 2 brings all the benefits of matrix layout mechanical keyboards to you in a compact form-factor. The lightweight acrylic construction means that you will be able to carry it to wherever you go without any hassle. The inclusion of stylish LEDs will allow you to use the Terminus Mini 2 even in the Dark. The design is simple and to the point, as a result, it is easy and fun to build, making it very suitable for first time builders. The onboard Atmega32u4s provide all the power needed for a keyboard and more whilst allowing for arduino compatibility, giving an ease of customisation. The Animus firmware enabled a wide variety of features, no more firmware reflashing for changing keymappings, fully NKRO capable even in boot mode, and more!
